I love images of the lobster claw, and my first attempt a while back left me disappointed. This time I grabbed a bunch SHO and RGB... new camera and better processing... and I'm much happier with my result.
While framing the claw, I noticed that I could also grab the Bubble and NGC7538, so there they are. Be sure to check out the starless revision!
ChatGPT wrote me a short story about these three:
In a distant cosmic corner, the Lobster Claw Nebula, the Bubble Nebula, and NGC 7538 coexisted.
The Lobster Claw Nebula birthed massive stars amid fiery chaos...
Next door, the Bubble Nebula's luminous bubble was crafted by a brilliant young star's winds...
NGC 7538, a star-forming haven, swirled with vibrant newborn stars...
One extraordinary day, these three wonders aligned, igniting a captivating celestial ballet. The Lobster Claw Nebula's blazing stars bathed space in a fiery glow, mingling with the Bubble Nebula's iridescent brilliance. Meanwhile, NGC 7538's youthful stars added their radiant beams to the spectacle. The result was a breathtaking cosmic dance, a transient masterpiece that astounded astronomers.
This celestial convergence reminded all observers that the universe held moments of profound beauty. In its vastness, wonders awaited discovery, inspiring awe and wonder among those who dared to explore. And so, the Lobster Claw Nebula, the Bubble Nebula, and NGC 7538 continued their cosmic waltz, forever captivating the hearts of those who ventured into the cosmos.
